Warclaim: Siege of Cantal
“This Changes Nothing.” - Grand King Algoda Frostbeard
As crows stood pecking on the corpses of the fallen warriors, following the coalition's victory at the Battle of Goldfield, the dwedmar descended down from the Evraal Mountains, marching into the heart of the Orenian Imperium. Their aim was simple; They would strike hard and fast, delivering a decisive blow that would set them on a direct course to lay siege to the Orenian capital of Johannesburg. Their recent victories had filled their hearts with defiance and hope that the Imperial menace would soon meet its end. So they marched on fearlessly, ready to cut the head from the Orenian snake once and for all.
No longer were the dwedmar the only defense against tyranny. For in their march, they were joined by forces originating from all corners of Axios. Orcs from the east, Snow Elves from the north, High Elves from the west, and Human houses from all corners of the crumbling empire. A fire had been reignited, that gave hope to all those who the Horens had done wrong. No longer would the descendent races stand by as tyranny prevailed. No longer would they stand silent.
“Velak yoth othok kraviil kronul!” roared Bastion Ireheart, the newly crowned Grand King of Urguan, following the brutal murder of his predecessor at the hands of Philip Frederick. Grand Marshal Jorik Grandaxe, joined by coalition commanders, stood at the forefront of the immense force, barking orders at their soldiers. They were old, and proven commanders, some having fought in war for most of their adult lives. At long last, victory was close in sight.
